Poverty Pension Scheme

The decision of the Uttar Pradesh government to announce the beggining of pension scheme for the poor is a welcome decision but in view of other schemes such as MNAREGA already in motion the announcement was unwarranted for.It is ultimately the tax payer's money which is diverted for such funds.This new scheme would require making of new pass books that would add to the cost of the scheme although the government could have used the account already in place for MNREGA.This tendency of one man up ship between the centre and the state government would not do any good for the common man.The intellactual class should intervene and advice the government and if needed should take the refuge of the court.The government on one hand is divesting its stakes in profit making PSU's to finance welfare scheme's and on the other hand the state government is distributing taxpayer's hard earned money.

Dhorpur Elections

In the village panchayat elections held at Dhorpur Tinka's wife lost the elections and the hopes to get a Pachori elected on the Gram Pradhan were shattered.In my view the results would have been different had a detailed planning preceeded the elections.The last minute decision and unwillingness to contest the elections led to the chaos.

China's Ambitious Plans

It should be seen as a welcome decision of the Noble commitie to bestow upon a Chinese pro-democracy leader the Noble prize for this year.China which has been crushing all demands for a democratic China should realize that the stage has been set,as happened in the case of USSR, that the democratic forces will unite and usher in a new era in the so far supressed China.It may not come as a surprise that China disintegrates into 56 small countries just as in the case of former Soviet Union.The territorial ambitions of China are far and wide and it has forced India to accept that Tibet is an intergral part of China.It continues to stake claim over Arunachal and Tiwan.China's decision to issue stapled visa to Jammu and Kashmir citizens should be seen as an arm twisting exercise.In my view India should also unilaterally anounce the issuance of stapled visa's to the citizen's of Tibet only than China would rethink on its decision which it has taken at the behest of Pakistan.China has made rail lines upto Tibet and which it proposes to extend upto Nepal.It is trying to woo Nepal which has been a friend of India since times immemorial.The rise of Maoist in Nepal is because of active hand of China which had gone unnoticed from the eyes of Indian intelligence agencies.

Lucknow

These a days I am involved in the confusions of life that tie me to the illusions of the world. Corrently life in Lucknow is going normal other than the fact that I have started going to a ashram again.The work in office is not much since the launch of Videocon telecommunications in UPE is delayed indefinately.The elections in Dhorpur are near and Tinka's wife is contesting the elections and I will be in Dhorpur on 20th Oct'10 to case my vote there I am looking forward to meet Amit and the others.
